I would like to invest but I only have small amounts (1-2k euros a month which is the max and I don’t know for how long I ll be able to sustain) that I can put it. I have been wondering what is a good approach in my case - put it all in a broad ETF of stocks as it has generally returned 8% long term adjusted for inflation or pick stocks. The former will grow always, unless capitalism fails, but generally slowly. The latter is riskier but it could outperform. The question is does it make sense to put the money in one diversified place or try to squeeze that outperformance because my money to invest is not so much that compounding will do its magic in any foreseeable future.
Would appreciate your input.
